Perhaps an accident. Perhaps not.
Maybe massive coronary, or perhaps massively tired of living in todays world?

Of course , @AllThatJazzZ - the Qs say all the so called space flights were just Hollywood productions. I just pondered that perhaps Mr. Anders decided this would be his last flight, and go out on his own terms.

Jerry West - the "logo," NBA legend, and the pride of West Virginia, dies at 86.

West Virginia icon Jerry West dead at 86
By Greg Carey
June 12, 2024 - 10:19 am
Jerry West, a West Virginia icon and one of the greatest basketball players of all time, has died at 86.

A release from the Los Angeles Clippers said West died peacefully Wednesday morning at the age of 86 with his wife, Karen, by his side.

A native of Kanawha County who hailed from Cheylan, West is perhaps the most decorated athlete from West Virginia. ...

West went on to play 14 seasons for the Los Angeles Lakers from 1960-1974 and was then part of the organization for nearly three more decades. As a player, he made the All-Star Game each of his 14 seasons in the NBA and was a 12-time All-NBA selection.

A member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, West won a NBA championship with the Lakers in 1972 and an additional six while in the organization’s front office. He was an architect of the organization’s 10 championships in the 1980s and 2000s. ...

It looked to me like he was trying to pull up (by the distribution of the debris vs a straight in entry), but ran out of air.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Neil Goldschmidt dead: Former Democratic Oregon governor tarnished by child sex scandal dies
By Elaine Mallon
June 12, 2024 9:09 pm
Washington Examiner
Quote
Neil Goldschmidt, once a beloved politician known for revamping Oregon’s economy but who fell from grace after the public’s discovery of his sexual abuse of a neighborhood girl, died at 83 from heart failure on Wednesday.

He died in his Portland, Oregon, home surrounded by family two days before his 84th birthday.

Goldschmidt’s admitted sexual abuse of a 14-year-old neighbor girl began in the 1970s when he was mayor of Portland. At the time, he became the nation’s youngest big-city mayor, responsible for revitalizing the downtown area, per Oregon Live, and he was seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party. ...

The Oregonian published a story in May 2004 that included a partial confession from Goldschmidt, and reporting from the Willamette Week later uncovered more details behind Goldschmidt’s scandal.  ...

The girl he abused is now a 50-something or 60-something woman (assuming she is still alive). I doubt she is mourning his death.

Al Kresta, a longtime Catholic radio host, author, and founder and president of Ave Maria Radio, died Saturday at his Michigan home after a battle with liver cancer. He was 72.

A former evangelical Protestant who rose to prominence as a radio host before his conversion to Catholicism in 1992, Kresta’s voice was heard on hundreds of radio stations daily, including EWTN Catholic Radio, via Ave Maria’s flagship program, “Kresta in the Afternoon.”

He was one of the people that aided my reversion to the Catholic Church.

This was a couple of months back, just heard about it a few days ago. Probably doesn't mean much to anyone not a hair band enthusiast, but there were a pretty good band that actually survived into the grunge age.

Donald Sutherland, Hunger Games and Kelly's Heroes actor, dies



Quote

Donald Sutherland, who appeared in films such as The Hunger Games and Kelly's Heroes, has died.

The actor, who was 88, also starred in MASH and won an Emmy for Citizen X.

His son, fellow actor Kiefer Sutherland, posted on X: "With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away.

"I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived."

Deadline reported Sutherland in Miami died on Thursday after a long illness.

Sutherland was downright scary as a genocidal maniac President Snow in the Hunger Games. He played one truly frightening and complex character. IMO his greatest role.

Kinky Friedman dies at 79

The legendary outlaw singer and lead vocalist for the Texas Jewboys proved himself as adept at maudlin country ballads such as "Sold American" as he was better-known for his biting satirical songs, most famously "They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore" and the song that earned him the ire of feminists everywhere (and got him banned in Buffalo for four decades), "Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed." Relatively liberal by Texas standards, he ran a third party candidacy for the governor of that state in 2006, finishing with over 12% of the vote.

Friedman died June 27 of Parkinson's disease.

It is only the death of an illusion, of something that never really was  except in the ravings of a propaganda machine. A 'poor player who spent his hour upon the stage, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing'. He may have been mounted on the prow, but in no other sense has he led anything.
 Now that figurehead may have fallen away, but the ship of of malicious fools, the Our Democracy continues on its heading, a leviathan prowling for our Rights and the destruction of the Republic. The same crew is keeping the boilers stoked, stands at the helm, and is working feverishly within to enure it performs smoothly.
Biden has only stepped across the threshold of irrelevancy in the minds of those who can still see and overcome their delusions, but in reality, he has been there all along.

Yesterday my high school sweetheart, the love of my life for over 35 years, the loving mother of our 4 children, the smartest kindest woman I ever knew, my beautiful and wise queen forever, Rhonda went to Heaven. Thank you for your prayers for our family in this difficult time.

She was valedictorian at our high school where we went to the Prom together, accepted at MIT and Harvard, earned a Mechanical Engineering degree from MIT, and devoted her life to our family.

We spent last week touring Mt Rainier with our grandson - she was the best mammaw ever! We love you Rhonda.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Martin Mull dies at 80



Beginning his career on the fringes of the music industry in the 1970s (including his tuba cover of "Dueling Banjos" that barely reached the hot 100), Mull segued into a role as a comic character actor over the next four decades, beginning with Garth Gimble in Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman (and twin brother Barth in the spin-off Fernwood 2 Night), and including recurring roles on Roseanne and Sabrina the Teenage Witch, along with a long line of supporting roles in film and television.

Mull died June 27 following a long illness.

One I missed from last month:

Susan Buckner, beauty queen turned brief 70s actress, dies at 72



Buckner rose to fame for her winning of the swimsuit competition in the 1972 Miss America pageant, losing the overall competition to Laurie Lea Schafer. Buckner was able to parlay her exposure into a ten-year performance career, including as a backing dancer/swimmer for Sid and Marty Krofft's variety shows and, most memorably, as popular-girl Patty Simcox in the 1978 movie Grease. She eventually walked away from entertainment before she turned 30, focusing on raising her family.

Martin Mull was really good in "Veep"- (which is a brilliant comedy that no one I know has seen)

Rest in peace sir, and thank you so much for all the giggles and laughs

Orlando Cepeda dies at 86: Former Rookie of the Year, MVP for Giants, Cardinals among greatest Latin players

https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/orlando-cepeda-dies-at-86-former-rookie-of-the-year-mvp-for-giants-cardinals-among-greatest-latin-players/

Quote
Hall of Fame slugger Orlando Cepeda has died at age 86, Major League Baseball announced on Friday:

Quote
MLB mourns the passing of Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda at the age of 86.

Known as "Cha-Cha" and "The Baby Bull," Cepeda slugged 379 home runs, batted .297, and made 11 All-Star teams over 17 seasons.

 He was unanimously selected as the NL Rookie of the Year in 1958 with the Giants. He was also a unanimous selection for the the NL MVP Award in 1967 when he helped lead the Cardinals to the World Series championship.

Another great from the Mays-McCovey years at the Giants.

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Patrick Gottsch, rural television pioneer, dies at 70

Gottsch was responsible for the first full-time rural-oriented television network in America, RFD-TV, which drew upon programming targeting a rural farm audience that major network executives had largely disregarded. He followed that up with The Cowboy Channel, a channel devoted to Western sports (such as rodeo) and entertainment.

Biden's political charade died yesterday. The nation was shocked by the suddenness of it all. Only the day before he was full of vigor and spice on top of his game. The MSM is mourning the loss trying to figure out a path forward without his leadership.

Someone who can write should elaborate on this...

You're everywhere I go, I am not alone
You call me as Your own to know You and be known.
You are holy!
And I fall down on my knees.
I can feel Your presence here with me.
Suddenly I'm lost within Your beauty,
Caught up in the wonder of Your touch.
Here in this moment I surrender to Your love.
